World-Class Course

Certified by Audubon International as a Cooperative Wildlife Sanctuary and rated an impressive 4 stars by Golf Digest, the 18-hole course was conceived by Joe Lee and most notably features elevated bunkered greens that put a premium on accurate approach shots. Test your skills and fortitude at the demanding 7th hole with its challenging island green.

Golf course carts are enhanced with GPS technology that offers realistic images of hazards, yardages, hole diagrams, pin locations and more to help you strategize your play.

The use of a golf cart is included in your greens fee; there is no additional cart fee. Carts are designed to be shared by 2 Guests and are equipped with a small cooler, a sand bucket to fill divots, front windshields and rear pull-down club covers, in case of a passing shower.

To provide an enjoyable pace of play, players are required to use our golf carts on our 4 championship courses. For Guests who prefer to walk the entire course, we recommend Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, a 9-hole walking course.

Reservations and Cancellations

Reservations are highly recommended but not necessary, and walk-up golfers will try to be accommodated. Single or twosome walk-up golfers will have the best chance to play. However, it is best to reserve a tee time online or call the Golf Master Starter at (407) WDW-GOLF or (407) 939-4653, even if it is just a few hours before you plan to walk up.

Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your tee time to allow for check-in, cart assignment and a healthy warm-up. If you are unavoidably detained and arrive late, we will do the best to accommodate you whenever possible.

Group Reservations

Planning a group outing? You can call the Golf Group Sales & Events Office at (407) 454-5000, fax your request to (321) 800-5780 or send an email to Disneyevents@palmergolf.com.

Cancellations

Tee times must be canceled and party sizes must be reduced at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a possible payment penalty. Tee times that are canceled or left unreduced inside of 24 hours are subject to be charged to the credit card provided when reservations were made. Golfers are encouraged to call the Golf Master Starter at (407) WDW-GOLF or (407) 939-4653 to cancel or modify party size, even if you are inside the 24-hour window. Those who made tee time reservations online may also cancel online.

Pairing Players

In order to give all Guests the opportunity to play, we do try to pair players into foursomes whenever practical. This promotes a consistent pace of play. For less-skilled golfers who are worried about being paired up, we recommend the 9-hole walking Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course. Additionally, while we can accommodate any size party or group of golfers, we limit players to a maximum of 4 Guests per tee time. A party of 5 would be booked as a threesome and twosome, with the understanding that each of these may be paired to fill out foursomes for each tee time.

Non-Players

Non-player riders are permitted for a nominal fee. This fee covers the costs of providing a golf cart and insures against the rare golfer who brings his or her own gallery.

Disney's Lake Buena Vista Pro Shop features an impressive selection of golf merchandise and top-of-the-line rentals and is one of 2 pro shops that serve golfers throughout Walt Disney World Resort. Take home such souvenirs as clubs, logo shirts, caps and towels.

Rental clubs are available for men and women in both right- and left-handed models, and junior clubs are on hand, too. Rental golf shoes are also available, and neither rental shoes nor clubs need to be reserved in advance.

We ask that each Guest has his or her own bag and clubs to help keep up the pace of play on our courses. We do offer loaner golf bags at no charge for Guests who condense their clubs and leave their bulky bags at home for travel.

Storing Golf Clubs

Walt Disney World Resort Golf Courses can store your clubs and transfer them from one Disney golf course to another Disney course at the beginning of each day. There is no fee for this service.

Clubhouse

Disney's Lake Buena Vista Clubhouse features locker rooms and showers for golfers looking to freshen up. There is no fee for these lockers, and keys are available from the Pro Shop.

Private lessons from PGA instructors are available for an additional fee.

Professional lessons are 45 minutes long and can be scheduled for juniors (Guests 5 to 17 years of age) and adults (Guests 18 years of age and up).

For more information, please call (407) WDW-GOLF or (407) 939-4653. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian permission to call.

Dining and Personal Coolers

Enjoy light refreshments and a limited menu at The Turf Club at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. Guests can also stop by The Artist's Palette any time of day for a variety of hot and cold dishes prepared for dine-in or carry-out. Made-to-order sandwiches, omelets, fresh-tossed salads and custom flatbread pizzas grace the daily menu, along with nightly dinner entrees.

While golfing, you also have the option of grabbing quick bites from the food and beverage carts that provide mobile service on the course. These carts offer assorted sandwiches, snacks, beverages and cigars.

Personal Coolers

Personal coolers and any type of food or beverage storage devices are not permitted on our courses. Each golf cart is equipped with a cooler, and your cart host or hostess will be happy to fill it with ice and add your beverage selections from his or her cart. Comfort stations on the golf courses are also equipped with ice machines, cups and water fountains.

Complimentary transportation via taxi is available to Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels. You may request a ride at the Valet Desk or from Bell Services at select Resort hotels, and in the Pro Shop or from any golf operations staff members at the golf courses.
